Moringa

With meals

Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing tropical tree native to South Asia, often called the 'drumstick tree' or 'miracle tree.' Its leaves are exceptionally nutrient-dense, containing significant amounts of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds including the potent isothiocyanate moringin. Moringa has a long history of use in traditional medicine and is increasingly studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood sugar-regulating properties.

Safety & Cautions

Side Effects

Mild digestive discomfort at higher doses
Possible laxative effect
